Chen Li's Trouble

While Ling Yun and Chen Li were catching up, a slightly chubby man walked in through the entrance. The moment he saw Chen Li chatting with a handsome guy, rage flared in his heart. That bitch. I've chased her for so long, and she's never given me a good look. Fuck, she doesn't know what's good for her.

Suppressing his anger, Wang Ming walked over. "Xiao Li, who's this? Aren't you going to introduce him to me?"

Chen Li saw Wang Ming coming over too, but she ignored him and continued talking to Ling Yun.

Wang Ming grew even angrier. "Xiao Li, Xiao Li, as long as you have one meal with me, I'll buy a house right away."

Chen Li snorted coldly. "Don't call me Xiao Li. We're not close. And give up on that idea—I won't agree to have dinner with you. Even if you bought a hundred houses, it'd still be the same."

The commotion naturally drew plenty of attention, and everyone turned to look. Wang Ming was a grown man with thick skin, so he wasn't nervous at all. But Chen Li was a saleswoman here and couldn't stay put any longer, so she grabbed Ling Yun and headed toward her office.

This time, Wang Ming was truly enraged and blocked their path.

"Chen Li, is it because of this pretty boy? Fuck, kid, are you tired of living?"

Ling Yun looked at the idiot of a fat man and couldn't even be bothered to respond. He took Chen Li's hand and walked around him.

Wang Ming, ignored once again, was even more furious. A country bumpkin actually thought he was some big shot, yet Wang Ming could only watch Ling Yun leave, helpless to do anything.

Chen Li's face was full of apology. "Classmate Ling Yun, I'm really sorry. It seems I've gotten you into trouble."

Ling Yun waved a hand. "It's fine. No need to bother with that idiot."

"Let's talk business instead. I really am here to buy a house. I already picked one out—the Linjiang Villa Group."

Chen Li was beyond shocked. Every private villa in the Linjiang Villa Group cost at least fifty or sixty million. Anyone who lived there was a tycoon. She never expected this old classmate to be so rich.

If she sold one villa, her commission alone would be over fifty thousand. Fifty thousand was still a huge sum to her.

"Old classmate, if you really want to buy one, I'll go get the manager right away."

Chen Li suppressed the excitement in her heart.

Ling Yun nodded and sat down nearby.

Qianqian looked around curiously, hugging the little dog as she wandered about. Suddenly, she spotted a beautiful auntie, a woman as pretty as Mom. Distracted, Qianqian followed after her.

"Hello, Mr. Ling. I'm the manager here, He Gao!"

A man in his thirties spoke from behind Ling Yun.

"Hello."

Ling Yun replied politely.

"Mr. Ling, may I ask which villa in our Linjiang Villa Group you have your eye on? I'll need to check whether it has already been sold."

Manager He sighed inwardly. One truly couldn't judge a person by appearances. This handsome young man in ordinary clothes was actually a wealthy tycoon.

"District 11, Unit 2403."

"Xiao Li, go check whether that villa has been sold."

"Okay!"

A few minutes later.

"Mr. Ling, are you planning to pay in full or in installments? If you pay in full, I can give you a discount."

"Hmm, seventy-eight million in full? I don't have that much money right now. I'll choose installments." As he spoke, he took out his bank card.

"Daddy!"

Ling Yun looked up and saw Qianqian being held in a woman's arms. This beauty was the woman Qianqian had just followed. She was as fresh and refined, as beautiful as An Qing.

"Is this your daughter?" the beauty asked.

"Yeah."

"From now on, I'm her godmother."

"I can't make that decision. Whether you can be her godmother is up to Qianqian."

"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you. Qianqian, do you want Auntie to be your godmother?" The beauty lowered her head to ask Qianqian in her arms, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Mhm, mhm! I do, I do!" the little one cried in her sweet, childish voice.

The beauty smiled so widely she could barely close her mouth, leaving the several grown men nearby staring blankly.

Manager He was nearly dumbfounded. What was going on? The Eldest Miss had casually taken a goddaughter, and she was even Ling Yun's daughter. He felt like the world had gone mad.

"Let's get acquainted. I'm Qianqian's godmother. My name is Qin Lan," Qin Lan introduced herself.

"..."

Ling Yun replied flatly.

"Ling Yun."

Ling Yun didn't care much about Qianqian getting a godmother. Though he had no idea what had happened or how his daughter had met this beautiful woman, he didn't want to know. As long as his daughter was safe and happy, that was enough.

(Everyone probably thinks this chapter is a little unreasonable, right? How could the eldest daughter of a group casually take a goddaughter, and why was she determined to give away such an expensive villa? The author deliberately left a suspense here; it will be explained later.)
